In the future, there will be no blue-green (KMT or DPP) partisanship in Kaohsiung. All-out efforts will be made to pump up the (city) economy.

Kaohsiung is opening its arms to all cities, nations and territories of the world.

Given the current situation, I cannot be included in opinion polls on the presidential election. As Kaohsiung mayor, I shoulder the expectations of Kaohsiung residents. If (KMT) party headquarters or the Central Standing Committee needs Han Kuo-yu in some way to make all kinds of arrangements, including opinion polls, I will respect their decision.

We shall strive to create another Taiwan Miracle, where Taiwan is safe and the people are rich.

There are 'two undeniable' that are colliding with one another: "Do not doubt the Chinese Communist Party's determination to recover Taiwan" and "Do not doubt Taiwanese's determination to pursue democracy and freedom".

I was concerned on a daily basis about solving Kaohsiung's financial difficulties and one day it occurred to me that Itu Aba Island falls under Kaohsiung's jurisdiction.

Macau has its own development strategies while Kaohsiung also has its own development strategies. Anyway, we are amazed that Macau's current Gross Domestic Product per capita ranks second in the world after having risen from HK$10,000 or so to over HK$80,000 in the past two decades, and Kaohsiung will strive to catch up.

We believe the government should truly serve the people.

This tree has a hole with water in it where mosquitoes could breed!

Clearly, agricultural products and seafood from Taiwan are not promoted enough in Hong Kong.

Fortune's wheel turns every 30 years. And now, it is time for Kaohsiung to be the master and the focus of the Chinese community worldwide.

(The current cross-strait policy under President Tsai Ing-wen) is like a runaway train. Tsai's cross-strait policy is simply 'hatred of (Mainland) China, self-harm to Taiwan.'

I'm bringing along my wife, my deputy mayor and my team to Hong Kong, under the watch of 10 city councilors. Am I really going to sell out Kaohsiung (to Mainland China)? I'm only here (in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and Xiamen) to sell fruits and fish products.

What you (Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chen Ming-tong) have in mind are rigid restrictions, while what I have in mind is economic development. Rest assured, my city (Kaohsiung) will not touch anything related to diplomacy or national defense. Kaohsiung will only be an 'economic animal'.
